Since ranch dressing mix often contains sugar and other additives, we used our own simple spice mix for this recipe. The result is a flavorful, melt-in-your mouth pot roast that’s only 1 gram of carbs per serving!

Finally, we opted to cook our Mississippi Pot Roast in the Instant Pot (as opposed to the slow cooker) because it’s a lot faster, and just as tender.

Why I Love This Recipe:

Only 1 gram carbs per serving

Easy, set it and forget it recipe

So juicy it literally melts in your mouth!

Prep Tips:

Chuck roast is our favorite to use for Mississippi Pot Roast, though you can use your favorite cut (or whatever you might have available).

Traditional Mississippi Pot Roast uses ranch dressing mix, but we made our own simple spice blend so we’d know exactly what’s in it. If you want to use ranch dressing powder, be sure to check the ingredients first for added sugars.

To make a low carb au jus gravy, whisk together 2 – 2 1/2 teaspoons arrowroot powder with 1 cup of juice from your roast until it begins to thicken. Gravy made with arrowroot powder is best enjoyed right away, so this is one step you don’t want to do in advance. You can learn more about using arrowroot powder to make gravy here.
